Abstract:
A process for catalytic conversion of low value hydrocarbon streams to light olefins in comparatively higher yields is disclosed. Propylene is obtained in amounts higher than 20 wt. % and ethylene higher than 6 wt. %. The process is carried out in a preheated cracking reactor having a single riser and circulating an FCC catalyst. The riser is divided into three temperature zones in which different hydrocarbon feeds are introduced. An oxygenate feed is introduced in the operative top zone in the riser. Heat for the endothermic cracking is obtained by the exothermic reaction of converting the oxygenate feed into gas and/or from a regenerator in which the spent FCC catalyst is burnt.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a stabilized inorganic oxide support for capturing carbon dioxide from gases having high regeneration capacities over many cycles. The method for preparing the stabilized inorganic oxide support includes stabilizing an alumina-containing precursor by either calcining or steaming, impregnating an alkali or alkaline earth compound into the stabilized alumina-and drying the alkali or alkaline earth compound-impregnated stabilized alumina. The stabilized inorganic oxide support can be regenerated at lower temperatures between 100 and 150° C. The carbon dioxide adsorption capacity of the regenerated support is between 70 and 90% of the theoretical carbon dioxide adsorption capacity.
Abstract:
A computer implemented blend control system and method for preparation of a hydrocarbon blend from a plurality of component streams have been disclosed. The system includes a product tank for receiving a mixture comprising the plurality of component streams. The system further includes a sensor and analyzer adapted to sense and analyze a first attribute of the received mixture for obtaining a first attribute data. The system further includes an optimizer which stores the attribute based model data, receives the first attribute data and compares the received first attribute data with the attribute based model data to compute an optimized proportion data, based on which the component streams are selectively drawn into the product tank for preparing the hydrocarbon blend.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a method for regeneration of spent ion exchange resins to obtain regenerated ion-exchange resins. The regenerated ion exchange resins can efficiently reduce the total acid number (TAN) of highly acidic crude oils. The present disclosure particularly relates to a method of treatment of spent ion exchange resins using at least one non-acidic crude oil condensate and at least one polar organic solvent.
